Fangraphs, Hardball Times.

Probably my favorite two websites on the planet.

I was going to say Woods and looked up his career FIP at Fangraphs. It's higher than the 5.00 you qouted, 5.00 is the FIP for 2006, only, thanks to relief appearances with the Angels in 2005.

Did you include 2005 in your calculations?
